He captained the SS Chooch and became a great dance recital photographer. He designed elaborate Halloween displays, always enjoyed travelling or sitting watching the boats go by at Wasaga Beach.

An incredibly nice guy. He leaves behind a bowling legacy . Len will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure to meet him. I am glad I was one of those fortunate people.
One by one our family is getting smaller. You will be truly missed by all who had the pleasure to grow up with and know you. Our love to your wife Nancy and your 3 beautiful daughters and their families. Rest in God’s wonderful garden of beauty and peace…love you cousin Lenny.
My Dearest Condolences to the DiGiulio Family! Leonard was a fantastic man and great heart ❤. I was good friends for many years in bowling 🎳. He will deeply missed and he will always be in our hearts and prayers ❤ 🙏⚘.
I succeeded Len as the treasurer of the bowling league. What a tough role to fill. I don’t think I will be able to do it for 41 years.
I know he will be dearly missed by all.
My condolences to the family.

Very sad to not be able to attend the service but wanted to share that Len was a good man. He was always so kind to my family and I have wonderful memories of him from Tuesday night bowling. I’m thankful he was in our lives because he made them brighter and better in so many ways.
